Edward Dowell, born about 1847 in Virginia, was the son of John and Mary Dowell who lived in Albemarle County, Virginia in 1850 and in Lincoln County, Missouri in 1860. In 1880 Lincoln Co, Missouri, Edward was married with two children and also living with them was John McClary, age 72, bee tamer, born KY, parents born Virginia. Since he was born in Kentucky, he may be the child of Robert McAlary/McClary and Mildred Dowell, daughter of John Dowell and Ann Franklin. Robert and Mildred Dowell McAlary moved to Adair County, Kentucky by 1810. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
